    July 9th: The trails are drying out thanks to the warmer weather. Low lying areas could still be wet, so be aware of closures in the area and check advisories and the weather forecast before heading out.

    Crews are conducting detailed assessments of trails, campgrounds, day-use areas, roads and other infrastructure impacted by flooding and high water. While access has been restored to many areas, numerous backcountry campgrounds, trails and day use areas remain closed while damage is assessed, and repairs are planned.

    Visitors are reminded use extreme caution around waterways, obey all posted signs, barricades and closures. Please stay off closed trails and out of restricted areas to protect your safety, allow crews to complete their work, and help prevent further damage to already vulnerable landscapes and infrastructure.

     

    Notes:

    • Be wildlife aware! Practice wildlife safety. Travel in groups, make noise on the trail, and keep pets on leash. Carrying bear spray and knowing how to use it is highly recommended, even in winter.
    • Caution is advised for natural hazards such as downed trees.
    • Be aware, cows in the area, do not approach them.
    • It's tick season! Make sure to check you and your pets when you get home. For best protection, use a bug repellent with DEET.
